Dolphin Splash

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Thank you for a strong opening week. As we walked classrooms and supervised during recess and lunch, we saw so much evidence of joy, community building, high expectations, and consistent coaching and modeling of our JROB Guidelines to Success! Thank you JROB families for supporting and messaging what it means to be Proud to be a Dolphin!

In partnership,

Rebecca Ngo

Throughout the school year, PE uniforms and spirit wear are available for purchase in the office. Please bring cash only.

Make sure that your child’s information is up to date in ParentVue by completing the Annual Verification. This is important for:

1. Communication with Families

2. Emergency Preparedness

3. School Funding & Accountability

Jackie Robinson’s policy regarding cell phones & electroinics is “Off and Out of Sight” during school hours. School hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. In order for students to avoid possible disciplinary action, they need to follow the guidelines listed below.

• Students may NOT use their cell phone on campus during any class period
• Cell phones brought to school must be turned off or placed on silent mode, put away and not visible during the school day.
• Students may use the office phone before school, during lunch, or after school to contact their family for emergency or urgent messages (i.e. where to get picked up afterschool, walk home or take the city bus home, etc.) Note: Parents, please don’t call or text your child on their cell phone during school hours.

• The use of cell phones for videotaping or taking pictures is NOT allowed, except under teacher’s supervision at designated time.
• Students who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
• Any staff member may confiscate a cell phone at any time if the student has the phone visible or is using it during any class period or during the school day. The staff member will turn the confiscated item(s) to the Administration Team.

Once an item is confiscated, there are 2 possible ways to get it back:

1. If it’s a first offense, item will be released to student after school.
   
2. If it’s a recurring offense (more than 1x), the parent/guardian must come to the school with identification to collect the item. We will not release any confiscated item to a student, even with a parent phone call.

No other electronic devices such as iPod, iTouch, iPad, earphones, earbuds, headphones, tablets, DS, DXL, Gameboy, etc. are permitted at school during the school day, except under teacher’s supervision at designated time.

Note: Jackie Robinson Academy does not assume liability for any cell phones or electronic devices that are misplaced, lost, or stolen during the school day.

School Site Council voting will take place on Back to School Night on September 17th!

If you are someone you know is interested in participating in this important group, please email Dawn Thornley at dthornley@lbschools.net with a short blurb about your interest in running for the position.

Do you have a middle school student interested in participating in sports? Make sure to visit the doctor and complete the Middle School Sports Packet and submit it to the school nurse. Getting this done early helps ensure your child is eligible to participate in all our sports teams and programs throughout the year!
